Thank you - that's very helpful. Your 16 points capture a good 70% of the value in the huge original. But for those with the time, the the detail and the examples of the original are helpful. Also, it includes useful points beyond the 16 - such as when is a redirect to be considered spam and when not.

Thanks for the great video, which I do believe really does represent Google's true intentions. However, Google's Panda implementation in many cases, such as mine, actually does the opposite from their intention.

My www.quotes-daily.com website is good content. How do I know? Over 55,000 people have subscribed to get this content each day by email. There are over 1200 Daily Inspirations (three years of daily posting) on the website.

How did Panda treat www.quotes-daily.com? Disaster.

In reality, as opposed to theory, Panda appears to check some very specific things, like "duplicate content." rather than any measure of how well people like a website. Because my RSS feed is picked up by hundreds of sites, and my individual posts are copied to blogs and Facebook by thousands of people, www.quotes-daily.com ranks low for its own unique content.

For example, search for the phrase "Inner peace is a choice - make that choice today." [with the quotes]. This phrase was in my post of June 22, 2011. There are 11 Google search results. My original post is the 11th. The other ten are all copies of my post - either through RSS or manually copied.

I dare anyone to look at my example and say that Google's Panda update is accomplishing what they intended.
